B66 S

The preservation of traditional construction techniques and craft skills is as much an imperative for our craftsmen today, as for their predecessors at Brooks. For more than a century our craftsmen have manufactured a variety of saddle designs, which remain unchanged in their method of construction and most singular appearance. Each saddle in our Unique range is distinguished by an aspect of workmanship or detail of construction specific to that particular model, making it indeed unique.

The B66 and B66 S are among BROOKS most loved products, having been on the market since 1927. Classically sprung with double rails for supreme comfort, B66 and B66 S are the ideal all-rounders for daily city or touring use in a rather upright posture. They are most appropriate for cyclists who set their handlebars higher than their saddles. In general, the more upright your riding posture, the wider, and more heavily sprung, the saddle you should choose.

B66 S

I admit I was dubious about the weight of this saddle and the hardness of the leather and I did wonder whether to opt for a lighter gel-filled saddle, even though it would look out of place on my vintage Raleigh Wayfarer. I'm so glad that I didn't because the B66 S really is incredibly comfortable. I had expected a painful few weeks or months of wearing-in, but I have had smooth rides and no problems right from day one. Riding on country lanes with lots of potholes I really appreciate the springs. I cannot recommend this saddle highly enough.

Unfiltered criticism

I've had my Brooks B66s (Honey) for a few months now and felt at home in the saddle from day one.

I applied the proofhide both underneath the saddle as on top (as described in the instructions) and have kept it up once a week.

Now, due to persiration, I have a mark towards the back of the saddle that seems to be getting larger and larger. When it's dry it looks like a 'scuff' mark, however as soon as I start cycling it becomes moist and starts looking like a moist mildew mark.

Any advise on how I can treat this spot at get rid of it? ...

With thanks in advance!
>> Once a week is far too often to apply proofide. Twice a year is more in the area of what we would recommend!
